Pollstar is the world's largest resource for international concert tour information. It collects and organizes information on concert ticket sales and artist tour schedules.

Founded in 1981, Pollstar has published a weekly magazine that has become a prominent trade publication for the concert industry. Pollstar was an early pioneer in providing concert tour information on-line, launching Pollstar.com in 1994 and providing tour itineraries free to music fans world-wide. The company also hosts a web site for music business professionals at PollstarPro.com. `

Pollstar services are subscription based, distributed worldwide and include the weekly magazine as well as access to an on-line database of international concert tour information and music industry contacts.
